I finally got the mod sticker in the mail. My xeon x5460 runs, windows boots, but benchmark scores are low and cpu-z shows that the multiplier is stuck at 6-6.5. I am using a nodded bios...what did I do wrong? I followed every step along the way on delidded.com.

Are you sure it is not throttling that low because of heat? When I did this mod, my stock 775 cooler didn't have good contact and heat was the problem. ( solved by taking the 212 out of another computer and using it.) I'm getting 4.3ghz.
